strange memory tricks

[mayfair]

Funny how your memory works. today i left a job and walked the entirely oppisite way looking for the car, yet at 4 pm a friends son asked me about a maths question. 6-1x0+2/2 = i remembered BEDMAR from school straight away and said its 7 it must be 38 years since i heard that saying....strange how your mind works.those little things like black boys rape our young girls But (not very PC is it) etc and CIVIL ie in Capacitors current follows Voltage and in Inductors ....well you know the rest anyone else got any.

We were taught to remember an imaginary island in the Pacific called Sohcahtoa.

i came out with this to my mate (also ex sapper) for the first time in about 6 years the other day, and amazed myself that i remebered it. I could strip the SA80 with my eyes closed even now, and the movements ect are second nature. Its amazing what intensive& repetetive training can do.

So ye've met Wor Lass have ye ??? :32:

only two spring to mind, resistor code was "beer bottles rolling over your garden because people got wet", and safety on high voltage and capacitive installations was "SIDE" switch off, isolate, dump charge, earth.
